Number 1 Roofing Company In Shepperton
Shepperton is a riverside village with a lot of variety packed into one postcode. The historic core around Church Square and St Nicholas' Church is a conservation area of old cottages and Georgian houses with handmade clay-tile roofs and big chimney stacks. Along the Thames at Lower Halliford and near Shepperton Lock there are period houses, riverside bungalows and holiday-style chalets, many with low-pitched or flat roofs. Away from the river, much of Shepperton, Upper Halliford and Littleton was built from the 1930s to the 1970s, with chalet bungalows, dormer extensions and detached family homes. Dormers and low-pitched roofs are the classic sources of leaks here, alongside the damp and moss that come with the Thames, the River Ash and the surrounding lakes. As a local roofing company we know the area well and can be in Shepperton quickly from West Molesey.

Common Roof Problems We Fix In Shepperton
Leaking dormers on chalet bungalows
Shepperton has a lot of chalet bungalows and houses with dormer windows. Dormer cheeks, flat dormer tops and the flashings where they meet the main roof are common leak points that we strip and renew.
Low-pitched and flat roofs by the river
Riverside bungalows and chalets near Shepperton Lock and Lower Halliford often have low-pitched or flat roofs that hold water. We replace failing coverings with GRP or EPDM and correct the falls so water runs off.
Handmade clay tiles in the old village
The cottages and Georgian houses around Church Square carry handmade clay plain tiles. After decades the pegs and nails fail and tiles slip, so we repair with matching reclaimed or handmade tiles.
Damp and moss from the Thames and lakes
With the Thames, the River Ash and the gravel lakes all close by, Shepperton roofs stay damp. Moss lifts tiles and blocks gutters, and we clear it carefully without damaging the roof.
Chimney stacks and lead flashings
Older Shepperton houses have tall chimney stacks where mortar has eroded and lead flashings have lifted. We repoint, re-flash and rebuild stacks where needed.
Roofing in Shepperton: old village to Littleton.
Shepperton's homes
Shepperton's old village around Church Square and St Nicholas' church is a conservation area of historic cottages and houses with clay-tile roofs. Towards Halliford and the river there are Victorian and Edwardian riverside homes, while Littleton and the streets near Shepperton Studios and the station have inter-war houses and a lot of chalet bungalows.
Dormers, bungalows and the river
Chalet bungalows are a Shepperton speciality, and their dormers and low-pitch roofs need care: dormer cheeks, flashings and flat dormer tops are where leaks begin. Riverside homes take a lot of wind and damp, which wears out mortar and pointing. In the old village we match period clay tiles and respect the conservation area.

Things people ask about roofing in Shepperton.

Yes. We cover all of TW17: the old village around Church Square and St Nicholas' Church, Lower Halliford and the riverside down to Shepperton Lock, Upper Halliford, Littleton, and the streets near the station and Shepperton Studios. If your home is anywhere in Shepperton, we can reach it.
Roofing in Shepperton covers a lot of variety for one postcode. The historic core has handmade clay-tile roofs and big chimney stacks, the river brings bungalows and chalets with low-pitched or flat roofs, and the streets built between the 1930s and the 1970s are full of chalet bungalows with dormers. We work on all of them, from small roof repairs in Shepperton to full re-roofs, flat roofs and regular gutter cleaning.
We're around fifteen minutes from our West Molesey base via Walton Bridge and can usually inspect within the same week of your call. Each visit starts with a free inspection and ends with a written quote you're under no obligation to accept, with no call-out fee and no deposit, ever.
Yes. Dormer leaks are one of our most common Shepperton jobs. The area has a lot of chalet bungalows and houses with dormer windows, and the water almost always gets in at one of three places: the flat dormer top, the cheeks on either side, or the flashing where the dormer meets the main roof.
Rather than smearing sealant over the obvious spot, we trace where the water is really coming from. That usually means lifting tiles around the dormer, checking the lead soakers and apron, and testing the condition of the flat top. Split or ponding felt is replaced with GRP or EPDM laid to a proper fall, tired cheeks are stripped and re-clad, and lead flashings are renewed rather than patched.
We photograph the problem and the finished work, so you can see what was wrong and what we did about it. Like all our roof repairs in Shepperton, dormer work is quoted in writing after a free inspection and carried out by our own team, never subcontracted.
Yes. The riverside near Shepperton Lock and Lower Halliford has plenty of bungalows and holiday-style chalets, many with low-pitched or flat roofs that hold water. A shallow tiled pitch can let wind-driven rain creep back under the tiles, and flat coverings tend to sag and pond, which wears them out faster.
We repair or replace these roofs using GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber, correcting the falls so water runs off instead of sitting on top. On low-pitched tiled roofs we check whether the existing tile was ever suitable for the slope, and if it wasn't, we'll recommend a covering that is.
Damp is the other challenge by the water. With the Thames, the River Ash and the gravel lakes all close by, moss builds up and gutters clog, so gutter cleaning and careful moss removal are part of looking after these homes. We clear moss by hand rather than pressure-washing, which can damage tiles.
As roofers in Shepperton who work on these riverside roofs regularly, we'll give you honest advice on repair versus replacement and a fixed written quote.
Yes. The cottages and Georgian houses around Church Square and St Nicholas' Church carry handmade clay plain tiles, and after many decades the pegs and nails holding them fail, so tiles slip and gaps open up. Left alone, that lets rain reach the battens and the timbers beneath.
We repair these roofs with matching tiles, reclaimed or new handmade, chosen to blend with the colour and texture of what's already there. Machine-made tiles look too uniform on an old Shepperton roof, so we avoid them. Rotten battens are replaced in the area we're working on, and ridges, hips and verges are finished in the traditional way.
The old village is a conservation area, and Spelthorne Borough Council is the planning authority. We'll tell you whether the work is likely to need consent and what the council may want to see, though the application itself stays with you.
Our quote names the tiles, the supplier and the method, and you'll get photos throughout. Our roofers in Shepperton take their time on these roofs, because a careful repair now saves a far bigger job later.
In most cases the same day where we can, from our base in West Molesey, around fifteen minutes from Shepperton via Walton Bridge. Our emergency line runs 24/7, so nights, weekends and bank holidays are covered as well, and there's never a call-out fee.
The first task is to stop the water. On a chalet bungalow that might mean sheeting over a failed dormer; on a riverside home, tarping a flat roof that has split; after a gale, covering the gap where tiles or a ridge have come away. Once the roof is safe, we check inside for wet insulation or ceilings and photograph what we find.
We then come back with a written quote for the lasting repair and book it at a time that suits you, with no deposit to pay. If the damage was caused by a storm, our photos and notes will help with an insurance claim.
If you need us urgently, call 07470 744247 and our roofing company will get someone to you as soon as possible, wherever you are in TW17.
Yes. Older houses in Shepperton, especially in the old village and along the river, have tall brick chimney stacks that take the full force of the weather. Over the years the mortar erodes, the lead flashings lift away from the brickwork and the flaunching around the pots cracks, letting water into the stack and down into the rooms below.
We check the stack from top to bottom before recommending anything. Most need repointing and new lead flashings dressed into the joints; some need the flaunching rebuilt or the pots reset; and where a stack is leaning or the bricks are badly worn, we'll suggest rebuilding it above the roofline. If a chimney is no longer used, capping or removing it are options too.
Chimney work needs safe access, so the quote explains whether scaffolding is required and why. On conservation-area houses, we match the brick and mortar so the stack still looks original once the work is finished.
As a roofing company with over 25 years of experience, we treat chimneys as part of the roof rather than an afterthought, and every job comes with our workmanship warranty.
